To all the club members that participated in the 2022 Awards Program, I want to say Thank You. Being the Award’s Chairman gives you access to all the projects, accomplishments, education opportunities and success of Garden Clubs across the State. You have proven that you are a busy group. The Awards ceremony for the awards we submitted to NGC is not until May so they will be posted at a later date. My one wish would be that more clubs participate in this fun activity. If you are a club that is experienced in applying, share your knowledge and encourage another club to participate. If you or your club wants to sponsor an Award for next year, chose a specific award and receive recognition. As I pass along this responsibility to your new Award’s Chairman, I wish you luck for next year encourage everyone to APPLY. Congratulations to all the winners of the GCKY and SAR Awards listed below.
